+# Identity Server
+
+This project represents a simple identity server implementation focused strictly on the needs of my home lab.
+At the moment it has a simple API consisting of only two methods:
+* ```/identity/authenticate``` - takes care of authenticating a user based on credentials and generates an access token.
+* ```/identity/authorize``` - deals with the authorization of a token (verifies its existence, validity, authenticity, etc)
+
+## Stack
+* .NET (C#)
+* EntityFramework
+* SQL Server
+* Swagger
+* Docker
+* Shell
